The Supreme Court decided Monday that states cannot require
would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens.

The justices voted 7-2 to throw out ArizonaÆs voter-approved
requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to
use a registration form produced under the federal ôMotor Voterö registration
law.

The court rejected a requirement passed by Arizona voters in
2004 that potential voters supply proof of eligibility beyond an applicantÆs
oath on the federal form that he or she is a citizen.

Several experts joined MarylandÆs News Now Monday to talk
about the decision and the impact that it could have on society.
